peel and cut the potato and carrots into combine everything but the barley and the juice in a large stock pot (or 6 qt crock pot) add water to cover and simmer for several hours. 1 hour before serving, add the barley and enough juice to bring the soup back to the original volume. Serve with bread and butter (around 1.00 depending)

So our grand total for this meal is: 9.28 if left over veggies are used. If you use 5 cans at 30 cents each, your new total is 10.78. Not too bad for a pot of soup with enough left overs for at least one more meal :)

Take one stay at home housewife, who is anything but typical and mix it with a biker dude complete with a pony tail and leather jacket. Then sprinkle on three kids, all with unique needs. Season it with a small obsession with the condition of the planet. to that, kneed in all the love in the world, and more fun than you can measure and thats us. Insanity!!!
